Connecting cable wires
The cable ends are held inside the reel by spring tension and will come out if the cable is com-
pletely unwound and pulled.
To reinsert the cable, straighten the tinned wire
ends and insert the wire into the opening on the
spool surface as far as it will go. As illustrated in
Figure 2, use a nail, the crank handle, or another
pointed instrument to press down the end of the reel
axle and push the wire into the spool about one-
quarter inch. When you release the axle, spring ten-
sion will hold the wire in place. Turn the car onto its
other side and repeat with the other wire.

Limited Warranty/Lionel Service
Figure 2. Wire insertion
This Lionel product, including all mechanical and
electrical components, moving parts, motors and
structural components, except for light bulbs, is warranted to
the original consumer-purchaser, for one year against
original defects in materials or workmanship when
purchased through an authorized Lionel merchant.
This warranty does NOT cover normal wear and tear,
light bulbs, defects appearing in the course of commercial
use, or damage resulting from abuse or misuse of the
product by the purchaser. Transfer of this product by the
original consumer-purchaser to another person voids this
warranty. Modification of this product voids this warranty.
Any warranted product which is defective in original
materials or workmanship and is delivered by the original
consumer-purchaser to Lionel L.L.C. or an authorized Lionel
L.L.C. Service Center, together with proof of original purchase
will, at the option of Lionel L.L.C., be repaired or replaced,
without charge for parts or labor. In the event the defective
product cannot be repaired, and a replacement is not
available, a refund of the original purchase price will be
granted. Any products on which warranty service is sought
must be sent freight or postage prepaid, as transportation
and shipping charges are not covered by the warranty.
In no event shall Lionel L.L.C. be liable for
incidental or consequential damages.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion
may not apply to you.
This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and
you may have other rights which vary from state to state.
